TopicTiling
Topic Tiling
Topic Tiling is a LDA based Text Segmentation algorithm. This algorithm is based on the well-known TextTiling algorithm, and segments documents using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model. TopicTiling performs the segmentation in linear time and thus is computationally less expensive than other LDA-based segmentation methods.
